Thanks for that, I had the link but couldn't get it to work at the time, this was 3 weeks ago and it may have been you who sent it to me.
In the meantime? I can only speak from my experience so it will be most interesting to hear how another has got on with this. With my iPhone, the Jambox switches modes depending on what you're doing, when playing music it switches to stereo mode, when using the speakerphone it switches to voice mode, you can hear the difference quite certainly.
